Play nine men's morris online for free on Classic Play Games. One of the oldest known board games, nine men's morris has three phases: place your nine pieces on the board, move them along lines to form mills (three in a row), and remove your opponent's pieces each time you complete a mill. Reduce your opponent to two pieces or block all their moves to win. When you have only three pieces left, your pieces can fly to any empty spot. Challenge the AI at different difficulty levels or play against a friend — no account or download needed.
Nine Men's Morris is played on a board of three concentric squares connected by lines, with 24 intersection points. Each player has nine pieces. In the placement phase, players take turns putting one piece on any empty intersection until all 18 pieces are on the board.
In the movement phase, you slide one of your pieces along a line to an adjacent empty intersection. Whenever you align three of your pieces along a line — a mill — you remove one of your opponent's pieces (preferably one not already in a mill). When a player is reduced to three pieces, those pieces can fly to any empty intersection regardless of adjacency. You win by reducing your opponent to two pieces or by leaving them with no legal move.
Easier AI levels miss double-mill setups and let you break and reform mills repeatedly; stronger ones contest the mill points and avoid leaving themselves blockable. Choose your level and step it up as you improve.
Local two-player mode lets you and a friend share one phone, tablet, or laptop. Pass after each move — no second account, no invitation needed.

A mill is three of your own pieces aligned along one of the marked lines on the board. Forming a mill lets you remove one of your opponent's pieces. You can break a mill (by moving a piece off the line) and reform it later to capture again — a key tactic in strong play.
